Just want to remind everyone, that when the ant revolution does come, that Oxyclean(tm) DOES in fact kill ants.
Holy crap, he was right! Nothing beats the power of oxygen...even Death itself!

Most bands have only one drummer through the life of the band, because the drummer's style defines the band so much. If that drummer leaves the band, or spontaneously combusts, the band often drifts into obscurity.
Admit it...you're a drummer. And you just made that up. Name one band that went under after the drummer died/left. Genesis? Even the Who survived the loss of Keith Moon.
What about The Glork?
Never heard of them? Well there you go.

Yes but that's area 51. Area 51A might have aliens. Unfortunately, the location of area 51A is also classified.
No it isn't, it is in Springfield. But considering the location of Springfield itself is classified...

I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever seen Vista compared to first class.
As I think about it though, it does quite fit. Overpriced? Check. Doesn't get you where you are going any faster? Check.
There we have it. Vista IS a first class OS!

Perhaps I should stop trying to be subtle in my posts and carry a sledgehammer... (yea, I'm new here) It's not a bad idea. Subtlety doesn't go over well with some geeks (that whole denser-than-rocks thing and all). One need only look at the number of posts that simply say "wooosh" to back this up.

Submission + - Vista retail sales low compared to XP launch
PetManimal writes: "A comparison of first-week retail sales of Vista compared to first-week sales of XP back in 2001 found that Vista sales were 60% lower. Steve Ballmer has admitted that earlier sales forecasts were "overly aggressive," but at least there is some good news for Microsoft: early Office 2007 sales were very strong compared to the early sales of Office 2003, despite almost no advertising or marketing until the retail launch at the end of January."
Submission + - Bionic eye could restore vision
MattSparkes writes: "A new bionic eye could restore vision to the profoundly blind. A prototype was tested on six patients and "within a few weeks all could detect light, identify objects and even perceive motion again. For one patient, this was the first time he had seen anything in half a century." The user wears a pair of glasses that contain a miniature camera and that wirelessly transmits video to a cellphone-sized computer in the wearer's pocket. This computer processes the image information and wirelessly transmits it to a tiny electronic receiver implanted in the wearer's head."

Submission + - Geek Toys for Kids
Edis Krad writes: An CNN Money article reviews the Hot Toys for 2007. From the article:
"Industry leaders have accepted that kids are becoming more technology savvy at a younger age, and therefore are more inclined to discard their Barbie dolls and Power Ranger action figures for the cool MP3 player or camera cell phone."
Among those, I was particularly impressed with the Video Journal (blogging for kids?), the virtual bicycle (apparently, riding a real bicycle isn't cool enough anymore), and last but not least, the robotic parrot , that oddly reminds me of the replicant owl in Blade Runner
As technology becomes cheaper and more available, is it true that kids prefer cool gadgets rather and soccer balls and baseball gloves?
